• After witnessing the continued decrease of involvement in the SpotterNetwork staff in serving SN members with troubleshooting issues recently, I have unilaterally decided to terminate the relationship between SpotterNetwork's support and Stormtrack. I have witnessed multiple users unable to receive support weeks after initiating help threads on the forum. I find this lack of response from SpotterNetwork officials disappointing and a failure to hold up their end of the agreement that was made years ago, before I took over management of this site. In my opinion, having Stormtrack users sit and wait for so long to receive help on SpotterNetwork issues on the Stormtrack forums reflects poorly not only on SpotterNetwork, but on Stormtrack and (by association) me as well. Since the issue has not been satisfactorily addressed, I no longer wish for the Stormtrack forum to be associated with SpotterNetwork.

    I apologize to those who continue to have issues with the service and continue to see their issues left unaddressed. Please understand that the connection between ST and SN was put in place long before I had any say over it. But now that I am the "captain of this ship," it is within my right (nay, duty) to make adjustments as I see necessary. Ending this relationship is such an adjustment.

    For those who continue to need help, I recommend navigating a web browswer to SpotterNetwork's About page, and seeking the individuals listed on that page for all further inquiries about SpotterNetwork.

    From this moment forward, the SpotterNetwork sub-forum has been hidden/deleted and there will be no assurance that any SpotterNetwork issues brought up in any of Stormtrack's other sub-forums will be addressed. Do not rely on Stormtrack for help with SpotterNetwork issues.

    Sincerely, Jeff D.

I stumbled on this thanks to Nate Johnson and am a big fan... Works with iPhone / iPad and Droid soon. It's "just" a model display tool, but it has an incredible interface and looks awesome on the pad.

This isn’t your daddy’s weather app! For the first time ever on a mobile app, view the same numerical weather model data meteorologists use to develop their forecasts. If you’re a serious WeatherGeek who likes to dive into the data, this is the app you’ve been dreaming of!
.
WeatherGeek Pro is an application made for WeatherGeeks by WeatherGeeks. Unlike most other weather apps on the market, this one is specifically designed for professional users, serious weather hobbyists and meteorology students.
.
Choose weather maps for the continental United States, Canada and Alaska from the GFS (Global Forecasting System) model, the NAM (North American Mesoscale) model, the WRF (Weather Research and Forecasting) model, the SREF (Short Range Ensemble Forecast) model and the RUC (Rapid Update Cycle) model. You also have access to MOS (Model Output Statistics) tables.
.
Easily navigate through the maps by simply swiping your finger to advance or go backwards in time. You can also swipe your finger up and down to control which level of the atmosphere you are viewing. To see more detail for your area, easily zoom in and out on the maps by pinching or stretching. Drag your finger around on the map to scroll. Tap the play button to animate the maps and to see weather features progress in time. Best of all, you have the ability to share all of these maps on popular social networking platforms like Facebook and Twitter with the tap of your finger.
.
Features:
.
• Numerical weather model maps for the continental US, Canada and Alaska.
• GFS, NAM, WRF, SREF and RUC models available.
• View multiple levels such as surface, 850mb, 700mb, 500mb, 300mb, 250mb, 200mb and many more.
• View multiple products such as precipitation forecasts, various thickness maps, plus simulated radar.
• Zoom and scroll maps.
• Animate maps.
• Share maps on Facebook, Twitter and via Email.
• Access MOS tables.
.
All of this brought to you by your fellow WeatherGeeks at Hurricane Baby, LLC.
 
Looks like a very cool app! Looking forward to checking it out once its released on the Droid.
 
Thanks for the link to that ipad. I just got the Storm Spotter app and RadarScope app also.
 
There's also 50%+ piracy rate in the Android market and Apple is closer to 10%

Any idea where the maps are coming from?

[edit: nevermind...they are using the NCEP images]
